Ml January U.S. Plane Plants Now Said Sufficient (CONTINUED FIIOM PAGE 1) $551,000,000 defense program. Well-informed legislators sold today the project pointed toward a complete reorientation of Ameri can policies in the tar east. For Plains, Submarines The president's defen.se message to congress yesterday endorsed the augife.ition of a naval board for Immediate establishment of a ma jor air and submarine base on the isadonly about 1.500 miles from Tokyo. Such a base, the board said, would: 1. Assure practical Immunity of the Philippines auainst a major attack. 2. Reduce to Us simplest terms the defense of Hawaii and the con tinental coast of the United States. 3. Assure the ability of the American fleet to operate with greater freedom in meeting emer gency conditions that miKht arise in the Atlantic. Tokyo already has eyed with annoyance the establishment of an American trans-Pacific commer cial airline which has way points at Honolulu, Midway, Wake and Guam.

Furor Raised By LOC Said Political Error (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) considerable opposition, but would not advise his questioner on whether or not to forget the bill. The league man apparently talk ed with others who alBO told him that the bill would have hard go ing In times like these. From these men, the newspapers got wind of what was going on and printed the Item. Several legis lators agree that If nothing had been said In the newspapers, the bill would have quietly passed out of the picture. The net effect of the furor has been to offend not the press but the legislators, who think that they are being put "on the spot." In view of the hostility toward the league In the last session, it is hardly possible to assume that the LOC is off on the right foot during the current legislature. Official legislative Investigator for the league, incidentally, is Thomas II. Tongue, who graduated from the Oregon law school in 11134. He is in Salem codifying city ordinances and is also on the lookout for anything which affects the league as yesterday's quarrel manifestly did.

The incoming tide was just on the verge of turning, making it somewhat easier to swim the mile to the mainland, but whether the convicts knew this was problemat ical. "All of the men are regarded as ringleaders of the plot," Warden James A. Johnston said. "It is a mystery how they got out of their cells, and any theory would be wholly speculation." He said they scrambled down the western side of the irland, toward the Golden Gate. Four were dis covered in approximately the same place, about midway between the old wharf and the prison shop, where Guard Royal C. Cllne was beaten to death during a previous escape attempt. Started Maklll Raft The negro ran away from his companions when guards started to shoot, and tried to rig hii raft from driftwood. "It was the thlckeat fog I ever saw," Warden Johnston comment ed. "It had been very foggy all day. It is a constant problem on the Island, because probably nil of the convicts have the idea at one time or another." The island, formerly a Spanish prison and an army disciplinary barracks, has had previous escape attempts, beatings and sitdown strikes since it was made a federal prison. The first prisoners, including "Scarface" Al Capone, former Chi cago gang leader, were housed on the island In 1934. Capone recent ly was transferred to the terminal prison at San Pedro. Warden Johnston himself once was attacked and beaten by a con vict in the prison dining room. Normal activities of the prison were suspended immediately after today's attempted break, and all inmates and cells were to be searched thoroughly. berlaln repeatedly of his deter minatlon to work for peace, lend ing it point by his declaration that he does not mediate hostil ities against France. Presumably that would mean direct negotiations with France on his Mediterranean demands since Chamberlain' firmly refused to mediate. The French con sidered the refusal a diplomatic setback for Mussolini. The Spanish war seemed to have been the one point on which Chamberlain and Mussolini found themselves least in agreement. Mussolini had hoped to get Cham berlain to recognize the national ists as belligerents, to enable them to blockade the loyalist coasts legally and starve out the republican government. instead, it was believed, Cham berlain challenged Mussolini to fulfill his promise to take his troops out of Spain, made when the British - Italian friendship agreement was negotiated last April. CONDUCT SEARCH WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. W) More than 300 "hard boiled" con victs were locked in their cells on Alcatraz island today for careful inspection as a result of an at tempted Jailbreak by five prison ers." Director James ". Bennett of the federal prison bureau said all normal activities would be sus pended at Alcatraz pending a thor ough search of every inmate. He said prison officials had "no idea" where Arthur (Doc) Barker and his fellow convicts obtained the saw blade with which they early today escaped from their cells and gained the water's edgo. Every prisoner's clothing, shoes, bedding and cell will be subjected, he said, to closest examination.
